Put null statement on separate line

[Mattias Märka]

Hello,

I skimmed through the manual, but I didn't find what I was looking
for, so I thought I would ask.

There does not seem to an option to put the null statement on a
separate line. Is this right? Also, shouldn't the -kr style be using
this option?

Consider the following code fragment:

     1  #include <ctype.h>
     2
     3  int getch(void);
     4  void ungetch(int);
     5
     6  void skipwc(void)
     7  {
     8          int c;
     9          while (isspace(c = getch()))
    10                  ;
    11          ungetch(c);
    12  }

Running this through

    indent -kr -i8

I would expect to get the same exact output back. What I get instead
is:

     1  #include <ctype.h>
     2
     3  int getch(void);
     4  void ungetch(int);
     5
     6  void skipwc(void)
     7  {
     8          int c;
     9          while (isspace(c = getch()));
    10          ungetch(c);
    11  }

The null statement is joined with the while loop (the -nss
flag). AFAIK, the actual K&R books does not do this. See page 18 of
the 2nd edition for example.

Interestingly, if there's a comment between the while and the null
statement

     1  #include <ctype.h>
     2
     3  int getch(void);
     4  void ungetch(int);
     5
     6  void skipwc(void)
     7  {
     8          int c;
     9          while (isspace(c = getch()))    /* skip whitespace */
    10                  ;
    11          ungetch(c);
    12  }

I get the same exact output back. No issues there.

I'm using GNU indent 2.2.12 on Debian.

Apologies if I'm missing something here. I don't think I am though.

Best regards,
